LINGUISTICS 

Note by Mr. Gates: 

“As a preface to the linguistic material in this catalogue the following data are in point. 

“Since 1900 I had been working on my slowly growing (and now just completed) font of 
Maya hieroglyphic type, looking forward to the day when we should print those codices in 
type, as we now do Egyptian monumental and papyrus texts. By 1910 it became clear be¬ 
yond question that the whole restoration was more dependent on a knowledge of the spoken 
dialects, than Egyptian on the surviving Coptic; and that for this the scanty printed material 
was wholly inadequate. I had to get back to first-hand, manuscript material. And I had just 
four small Mexican manuscripts, the least valuable of any I ever acquired. 

“My bibliographic material in this field is reasonably ninety-nine per cent complete. I 
started with Filling’s Proof sheets, listed every linguistic item; and then successively checked 
all through Eguiara, Beristain, all the bibliographies and auction and booksellers’ catalogues. 
My sales catalogues of the most important of the past great Collections, fortunately all had 
both prices and buyers’ names. Some of these bothered me greatly, until one by one I verified 
that ‘Cole’ in the Fischer sale meant the item had gone to Sir Thomas Phillipps; that Bancroft 
had bought at the Squier sale under the name ‘West,’ and through Whitaker at the Ramirez. 

“Supplementing this with correspondence and searches by agents in various foreign 
libraries, in time I had traced a good ninety-five per cent of the material I was after, both the 
manuscripts and the unobtainable imprints, through owner after owner, to their present 
shelves. 

“Nearly every manuscript and early rarity which has thus appeared on the market has 
since found its way to fast hands. Eliminating the works written, and lost (many but not all 
known to Eguiara and Beristain), nearly every important piece is accounted for—and out 
of the market for good. 

“Thanks to the minute thoroughness of the Spanish system, both political and ecclesias¬ 
tical, whereby the very smallest details of life or action by every citizen were regulated, 
checked and reports preserved in the archives, it is possible to build up a much more com¬ 
plete knowledge of what actually was done (let alone printed) in a literary way, from the ear¬ 
liest times, than in our own English literature. In England there was freedom of personal 
movement, political and religious activity, thought, writing and printing; in Spain and 
(even more so) in the Americas there was absolutely none. 

“The religious orders kept their records of the life and movements of every member, the 
languages they learned and used in their teaching, the works they wrote. A certain definite 
number of ‘archivos’ of the religious establishments, universities, governmental or municipal 
—received and preserved everything. Early manuscripts, worn by use, got recopied; if gram¬ 
mars or dictionaries they often were duplicated or somewhat amplified, by contemporary or 
succeeding users. Since they were not printed, when this linguistic literature I have gathered 
is at last fully digested, it will be easy to trace the succession from one to another. Within 
moderate margins, we can tell from whom each writer derived his knowledge, and how the 
later ones changed and ‘corrected’ the earlier, in a steadily descending scale of idiomatic 
inaccuracy and misunderstanding. In every language and dialect, the Sixteenth century 
writers wrote down what they found, and by sheer necessity (helped often by great linguistic 
keenness) gave exquisitely accurate renderings. There was little attempt at theorizing; it 



/

was first-hand reporting. In the later Seventeenth they began to elaborate, wiping out 
‘irregularities’ they did not understand, or which were dying out under Spanisn contact. 
And then in the Eighteenth they openly ‘corrected’ and formalized the languages themselves, 
to what the writer thought they ought to be—to make ‘good language.' In the Nineteenth, 
practically everytning became worthless. 

“To follow all this literature, we have now a remarkably full series of records. The records 
of the religious orders were published with great elaboration. The only important one of 
these histories to remain unprinted was, I believe, that of the Mercenarian Order, whose 
original unpublished manuscript is in this Sale (see No. 1088). From these we can learn 
the movements, work and writings of the various friars. 

“In 1629 Antonio de Leon (Relator of the Supreme Council of the Indies) printed his 
‘Epitome de la Biblioteca Oriental i Occidental,’ 4to. A second, enlarged edition in two 
volumes folio appeared in 1737. In 1755 Eguiara printed in Mexico a folio volume of 544 
pages, including only the letters A-C of a ‘Bibliotheca Mexicana.’ In 1817 Beristain y Souza 
died, having seen in print only 184 pages of his great ‘Biblioteca Hispano-Americana Septen¬ 
trional’ (Mexico, 1816). The author tells us that for this work he had at hand and used the 
surviving mss. of Eguiara, the printed and manuscript bibliographies of the various religious 
orders, etc., and either in person or by the aid of friends searched shops and archives. At 
this time the past hundred years of revolution had not begun its destroying work. 

“The three volumes of Beristain were finally printed in 1883. His titles are sometimes 
difficult to identify, but he does invaluable work in giving us the name of the library or archive 
where the volumes were preserved; or, what amounts to the same, where the writer worked. 
And thus through the sources finally ending in his work, we get our quite reasonably complete 
picture of everything that was produced. 

“We next come in our work to the list of private collectors, at whose head stands the ever- 
to-be-remembered Boturini. His ‘Idea de una Nueva Historia General de la America Septen¬ 
trional, fundada sobre material copioso de Figuras, Symbolos, Caracteres y Geroglificos, 
Cantares y Manuscritos de Autores Indios, ultimamente descubiertos,’ with its annexed 
Catalogue of his collection (Madrid, 1746), is invaluable. The vicissitudes of this collection, 
following its official seizure, are well known. Many items have probably disappeared forever; 
many were recovered by the tireless efforts of Aubin, from whom they passed to Goupil, 
and then to the Bibliotheque Nationale. 

“Next came Brasseur de Bourbourg, with his unexampled opportunities in Guatemala from 
1854 on. Some of his books and manuscripts went through Eugene Boban (two auctions in 
New York at Leavitt’s) to Brinton; the bulk of his collection went as a whole to Pinart, from 
whom certain items went direct to Bancroft, and the rest to sale in Paris in 1883 (the cata¬ 
logue mainly a reprint of Brasseur’s own ‘Bibliotheque Mexico-Guatemalienne,’ 1871). From 
the Pinart sale the great bulk went to the Bibliotheque Nationale; some in time reached Mr. 
Ayer, and others my own shelves. The final remnant, which had passed to Comte de Charen- 
cey, was lately given by the latter’s widow to the Bibliotheque. 

“Following Brasseur we had E. G. Squier; practically all of his material interesting to us, 
went either to Bancroft or the John Carter Brown Library. Dr. C. H. Berendt spent many 
years in Mexico and Yucatan, etc., gathering a few originals, and copying many; from him 
the original Motul Maya Dictionary went to John Carter Brown, and its copy with the 
great bulk of his other material, as a whole to Brinton—now in the University of Pennsyl¬ 
vania. A sale of some of Berendt’s less valuable books took place in London in 1869, as the 
seventh day of the Abbe Fischer sale. 

“In the time of Maximilian two collectors in Mexico were active, tne Emperor’s confessor. 
Father Fischer and the Canon Andrade, author of a very valuable ‘Ensayo Bibliografico 
Mexicano del Siglo XVII,’ 8vo, 804 pages. Mexico 1900. The Emperor planned to buy the 
collection Andrade had been making for half a century, to found a Bibliotheque Imperiale; 
but on his fall the Canon wisely sent the whole, in two hundred cases, to Europe, where 
they were dispersed in a ten days’ sale at Leipzig. Father Fischer, on his part, had made 
special study of the Otomi tongues (see several of his manuscripts in this sale), and his col¬ 
lection also went at auction in 1869, in Paris, in a seven days’ sale, the last being given over 
mainly to some of Berendt’s, as above noted. My Fischer catalogue fortunately contains 
the buyers’ names as well as the prices—Whitaker buying ‘wholesale’ for Bancroft, and one 
‘Cole’ taking about half the whole collection for Sir Thomas Phillipps; nearly everything these 
two did not buy was bought by either Quaritch or ‘Pearson.’ 

“We next come to the collection made by J. F. Ramirez, much more valuable for its unique 
rarities of the highest rank than even the Fischer and Andrade together. This went to sale 
in London in 1880. Quaritch bought heavily, and made a special sale list of his purchases. 
The collection was thus rather well broken up, but the most important pieces finally found 
thfcir way either to Bancroft or Mr. Ayer; some to me. 

“In more recent years in Mexico we have had the Agreda and Icazbalceta collections; the 
former had practically no manuscripts, and its rare imprints have been dispersed. The Icaz¬ 
balceta disappeared entirely under Carranza; no traces of items offered in this country have 




•*> 














Third Session 


appeared, and it is either intact somewhere hidden, or destroyed entirely. The Pio Perez- 
Carrillo collection of Maya manuscripts are partly in the Cepeda Library in Merida, but 
mostly have ‘disappeared’ (see note to Item No. 260). 

“The entire lot of the Fischer manuscripts came out again in the recent sales of Sir Thomas 
Phillipps’ library, and were equally divided between Mr. Archer Huntington and myself. 
Most of the early imprints in the Hurst sale, New York, 1904, came to me. And in the first 
and second Wilkinson sales I secured every single piece I made any real effort for. All the 
linguistic mss. in the Maya field came to me, and all the really important Mexican manu¬ 
scripts and rare imprints. Mr. Archer Huntington took the Aztec Sermonarios. Also, a year 
before the Wilkinson sales, I had gotten from him at private sale many of his best manu¬ 
scripts and imprints—including (privately and sales together) a good part of Chavero’s 
material. 

“Bishop Orozco y Berra had gathered in all the manuscript material he could find in 
Chiapas to his episcopal library; the revolution came, and an agent of mine was told to go 
and help himself. He found it used for the horses, parchment-bound remains scattered, and 
nothing worth carrying off. The Bishop had however had some most important linguistic 
manuscripts copied, and sent them as gifts to Dr. Nicolas Leon; from the latter they passed 
to Wilkinson (I believe in toto ), and from him all came to me. 

“For many years Dr. Le6n had collected and hunted. Most of his finds (practically all 
Tarascan and rare early imprints) went to the John Carter Brown. In later years, they all 
went to Wilkinson, and then to me. 

“Following a goodly string of library catalogues and bibliographies, Rich, Field, Squier, 
Ternaux-Compans, Del Monte, Ludewig, Sobron, and numberless booksellers’ catalogues, we 
finally have the great modern detailed bibliographies by Icazbalceta (‘Apuntes,’ and ‘ Biblio- 
grafia Siglo XVI’), Pilling, Medina, Leon and Viiiaza, all of whicn give the location of every 
noted manuscript and all known copies of rare imprints. 

"The above therefore Accounts for the Whole Known Body of Manuscripts, and 
Rare Imprints, that Have Passed through the Various Collections. And Nearly the 
W hole Has Finally Come to America (Save only the Bibliotheque Nationale as 
above), and Gone into Fast Hands. 

“Various scattered items and minor finds (as to number) have come out, and into various 
hands—the Library of Congress for a few, the Peabody Museum at Harvard a few, and so on. 

“In 1914-5 I sent a man for fifteen months into every reachable town in Yucatan, Cam¬ 
peche, Tabasco, Chiapas and Guatemala, trailing linguistic manuscripts. In 1917--8 I fol¬ 
lowed his tracks, and assured myself that (except in Guatemala, which alone has enjoyed 
peace in the last 50 odd years) there is nothing left worth effort to find. Indian herbateros, 
perhaps a few aristocratic families, must have here and there a piece—'unknown, and not 
even allowed to be seen. 

“An American woman spent two or three years hunting manuscripts etc. in out of the 
way places in Guatemala; I think all she found came in time to me; there is nothing left in 
official hands—much may be in Indian hands, totally out of reach if it exists. And most of 
the material known to have been written, is in one way or another pretty well accounted for. 

I do not despair of more, certainly after going from the four manuscripts I had in 1912 to 
nearly five hundred now, in this field; but I do not believe they exist in any material amount, 
in all Yucatan or Mexico. Practically nothing is left in the Museo Nacional or the Biblioteca 
Nacional. 

“The bibliographical result of all the foregoing is, that in a much more complete degree 
than even for our own English literature, we are able through the surviving records to re¬ 
visualize for ourselves, the production, preservation, transmission and final destruction or 
dispersion of this whole literature. The producers were nearly all of either the clerical or 
official classes; their writings were preserved (and actually preserved) in a limited, known 
number of places, clerical and official archives, through the Colonial period. And then since 
Independence we have dispersions and total destructions of entire archives accompanied by 
individual collecting ending in nearly every case in a sale in Europe or New York, and the 
passage of the material to known locations. While in the lands of origin practically everything 
that has not been so saved to science and history in this latter fashion, has wholly disap¬ 
peared. Stringent pronibitory laws are passed, and a great cry made about the foreigners 
who come to take away the country’s antiquities; but the employees of the libraries sell the 
volumes; foreign consuls like Lehmann in Guatemala, or visitors like Dr. Seler in Mexico 
(by the grace of Curator Batres), ship out cases on cases. And yet for all that, twenty times 
as much of this invaluable ancient literature has been burned and destroyed by Mexicans 
themselves in Mexico and Yucatan in the past fifty years, as all that exists in all the world 
today. Guatemala has fared somewhat better; for she nas not had a revolution in these fifty 
odd years (save the brief Herrera uprising of 1920); and yet no trace remains (nor probable 
place to search) of all the libraries of the old archives, save the few invaluable manuscripts 
given by President Galvez to the American Philosophical Society in 1836, those gathered by 
Brasseur, and later by Lehmann, and those in various scattered and out of the way places, 
and in private, often Indian, hands.

“The great past collections are thus re-located in the following present ones, in order of 
importance: Bibliotheque Nationale, my own, Mr. Ayer’s in the Newberry, Bancroft, John 
Carter Brown, the Brinton in the University of Pennsylvania, Peabody Museum, Hispanic 
Society (or Mr. Huntington), Library of Congress. The Bibliotheque is about equal to 
mine in number of manuscripts, although a large number there are duplicate or even triplicate 
copies of originals there too—as the Pichardo copies; in research value for work, I place its 
originals a bit ahead of mine as a whole (disregarding my photographs). 

“The Brinton total is also quite largely made up of modern copies (by Berendt) of acces¬ 
sible originals; and it is for this reason I put the Carter Brown ahead of it. The latter is 
however less valuable for actual work than the Brinton, since it is more restricted in scope, 
being heavily Tarascan, owing to its Leon source. 

“For my own, if one disregards these copies of accessible originals in the total cbunt, I 
have for Mexico and Central America together about as many original manuscripts as all 
the rest put together. And to these I have added full photographic copies of about 95% of 
all those owned by the others. A number of the Aztec pieces in the Bibliotheque I did not 
copy, not needing them; a few in the Brinton I did not copy; I have no copies of any of those 
in the Hispanic. All the manuscripts and unobtainable linguistic imprints in all the other 
collections above noted I have photographed in toto; as well of course as a good many 
scattering manuscripts in this country, England and Mexico.” (Signed) “W. G.”

MACZAHUA [SISTER LANGUAGE TO OTOMl] 

Study of Otomi, and still more of Maczahua, has still to be made a serious matter, but 
is of primary importance, as the language is generally recognized as of very primitive type, 
and so different from the known Mexican languages as to point to a wholly anterior period 
of occupation. 

737. Manuscript. Lengua Maczahua. Gaona (fray Juan). Coloquios de la 

Paz y Tranquilidad Christiana; interlocutores, un Religioso y un Cole- 
gial. 8vo, 146 leaves, in the handwriting of Father Fischer , chaplain to 
Maximilian. Boards, morocco back. 

A Volume of the Very First Importance. This work of Gaona was written 
not in Maczahua, but Mexican, and was printed in Mexico in 1582, 22 years after 
Gaona’s death, with a dedication referring to a prior edition, still unknown. Of 
the 1582 edition but three copies are recorded, the Fischer (very imperfect), the 
Ramirez, and the Icazbalceta. The Icazbalceta library disappeared during the 
Carranza period in Mexico; but that copy contained interleaved, in perfect script, 
a translation into some other native language, which Icazbalceta could not identify 
nor find any one else who could. Further, in the Ayer collection is another manu¬ 
script, containing Gaona’s work translated into Otomi, a language having close 
affinity to the Maczahua. 

Father Fischer made special efforts in the line of Otomi, and other copies by him 
of Otomi texts will be found in items Nos. 723, 724. 

Where he obtained this Maczahua version we cannot say; but this volume, with 
the printed text and the'Ayer manuscript in Otomi, gives us a tri-lingual version 
of a long 16th century work, something that hardly exists in any other case; and if 
the Icazbalceta copy ever turns up, there may be a fourth native language to set 
parallel.

OTONCA 

A dialect hitherto known only by name. 

741. Manuscript. Otonca, a sub-dialect of Otomf and Maczahua. Manuscript 

of 27 leaves 4to, containing a padr6n or list of those living in the several 
ranchos or barrios. Three sections have been fastened together, with the 
dates of 1690, 1715, 1715, with a number of lines of writing in Otonca, a 
dialect of which we have absolutely no other specimen. 

In this manuscript we find the identical towns and districts named, which appear 
in the hieroglyphic Tribute Codex, the Mariano Jimenez. In the codex the chief 
towns are called Otlazpan and Tepexic, here Otlaxpa and Tepexi; the same local 
names reappear, Atenco, Nochtenco, Caltenco (where Aztec was spoken); Xido, 
Idangu, Xothe, Doxey, Nequetoy, Vego, Pathe, the Otonca towns, together with 
a few names that do not appear in the Codex list. Beyond all doubt it was the 
great grandparents of those whose names are here listed, whose pictures and tributes 
are intended on the pages of the Codex. As specimen of the Otonca, a Dialect 
Hitherto Known Only by Name we give: 

Guenya amapa an miercoles nah alphaha abril del 715, nugua bi buzdi ani qhuan 
nobate quequa amahui, etc.

Cintzuntzan. Small octavo, 197 leaves in regular and beautiful script. 
Dated at end 1697, and signed by the author, with full name and rubric. 
Bound in original limp vellum. 

In the Tarascan language, Cintzuntzan having been the ancient capital of that 
kingdom. On the rarity of Tarascan manuscripts, see under No. 743, Gilberti. 
The leaves are as clean and fresh as when first written.

743. Manuscript, Circa 1569. Gilberti (fray Maturino). Vocabulario Cas- 

tellano-Tarasco y Tarasco-Castellano. Folio, 1, 130 and 150 leaves. 

One of the Three Greatest Manuscripts of Its Class in the World, 
the other two being the Motul Maya Dictionary in the John Carter Brown, and the 
Coto Cakchiquel Dictionary in the “American Philosophical Society” in Philadelphia; 
of these the Maya is of the native language of Yucatan, the Cakchiquel of that of 
the highlands of Guatemala, and this of the Tarascan native kingdom of western 
Mexico, the present State of Michoacan. 

Gilberti was the author of numerous works, some still remaining in manuscript, 
and others constituting some of the rarest of all Sixteenth Century Mexicana. See 
No. 751 for a copy of the Dictionary, printed 1559. 

The present manuscript, in Gilberti’s Own Autograph, must be some ten or 
fifteen years later than 1559, as it is a complete revision of his work, with the different 
words gathered under their roots. The whole is in fine clear writing, double column, 
of 58 lines each. 

With the exception of this manuscript, and the beautifully written Iriarte Ser¬ 
mones [see No. 742 in this catalog] no other Tarascan manuscripts are known to 
exist out of fast hands, nearly all those known being in the John Carter Brown 
Library. In Date This Manuscript Antedates Both the Motul and the 
Coto (the latter by nearly a hundred years), and May Thus Be Fairly Called 
the Supreme Manuscript of Its Kind Which Has Come Down to Us.

Then follows the second title, red and black, with figure of St. Francis; another 
figure of same and the Virgin on verso; then the Spanish-Tarascan, folios 2-180; 
then a leaf with colophon recto, and a few lines on the verso. Icazbalceta says that 
his copy was the only one he had found with the second title, red and black. No 
other complete "'opy perhaps exists, and the Icazbalceta library has completely 
disappeared since its seizure by Carranza, who sent it to his own home at Saltillo; 
and that place was later captured by Villa. 

The present copy, which is in original vellum binding, has the two parts inter¬ 
changed in the binding, but at the front of the volume an extra red and black title ap¬ 
pears in place of the other one, which is lacking, with the other leaves 2-8 of signature 
a. Part II lacks the last four leaves of text, and the final leaf. The work is thus 
complete, save for the title and next seven leaves of the Tarascan-Spanish, and 
the last four leaves of text, and the colophon, of the Spanish-Tarascan. The Few 
Copies Known Are All in fast Hands.

The list of words by roots on the above leaves 80-87 is of special interest here as 
prefiguring the manuscript dictionary offered in this sale (No. 743), arranged by 
Gilberti throughout on this plan, with much elaboration. Not Only Therefore 
Is the Present Volume One of the Greatest Rarities in All Americana 
of the Period, but it accompanies a manuscript ranking among'the two or three 
of highest value and importance that have survived.

MATLALTZINGA 

The authorities are still disagreeing as to whether the language belongs to the Otoml 
group or not. No one seems to have studied it enough to be entitled to a real opinion. The 
people are known to have moved at one time from near Toluca to form settlements among 
the Tarascans.

Migration Map and Picture Chronicle, written on three leaves of 
maguey paper , 11 by 14 inches each. With pictures of rulers , etc. in colors; 
with long well written text. 

The Chronicle falls into two parts; the first is the Migration Map, which brings 
the history down to the reign of Itzcoatl, who succeeded to the rule of Tenoch- 
titlan (the Aztec Mexico) in 1417, and aided Nezahualcoyotl to recover Tezcoco; 
he then by the aid of Quauhtlatoa, the king of Tlatelolco, defeated Moxtla, king of 
Azcapozalco, thus laying the basis of the Aztec empire. The names of Itzcoatl, 
Quauhtlatoa and Nezahualcoyotl, as well as those of the cities Tenochtitlan, 
Tezcoco and Tlatelolco, all appear in the text. The history was then carried 
down to the time of Montezuma (Motecuzoma Xocotzin) who here (with the name 
Xocoyotl) and his nephew Quauhtemotzin (the hero ruler Guatemozin), appear 
facing various sub-chiefs in a drawing on the last page. On the first page, we also 
find in the drawing the names of Vitziltecatl and Quauhtecatl.

Very Rare Aztec Manuscript and of Great Interest, as it relates to one of 
the original Aztec families, the Don Gazipari (or Gaspar) mentioned, appearing 
to have been one of the Aztec native nobility, and probably of the town of Tlate¬ 
lolco, which is mentioned near the top of the first page. This place is also men¬ 
tioned in the preceding item. The manuscript, however, bears the dates 1537 and 
1590, so that it is somewhat later than the Migration Map above, and the paper 
is somewhat different in make. Both of These Items Are Unusually Desirable 
as Well for Their Historical Interest as for Their Antiquity.

with date 1549; other leaves were a Bull of 1754; other dates are 1671, 1739 and 
I771 -

759A. Manuscript, 1552. Molina (fray Alonso de). Original Autograph 
Manuscript, in Gothic letters, with Molina’s name and the date September, 
1552. Ordenangas para prouechar los Cofrarias alios que an de seruir 
en estas Hospitalles. 4to, 23 leaves. 

Of Supreme Interest. Fray Alonso de Molina was the first of all to print in 
the native languages of America, except for the (still unlocated and uncertain) 
“Doctrina” of 1539. Molina’s first work was his “Doctrina” of 1546; his most 
important his “Dictionary,” of 1555 (quarto, Spanish-Mexican only), republished 
enlarged, and with a Mexican-Spanish part, in the 1571 folio, which to this day 
has remained the fullest dictionary of the Nahuatl (or Mexican) language published 
(No. 865). His “Grammar” was published in 1571 and 1576, various “Confesiona- 
rios” from 1565 (see No. 864A in this catalog) to 1578. His publication record thus 
covered 32 years, up to seven years before his death in 1585.

760. Manuscript, 1547. Olmos (fray Andres de). Arte de la Lengua Mexicana, 
and Vocabulario. Original Autograph Manuscript, (1547). Gothic 
Letter, in red and black , small octavo, 288 leaves, the first missing. 

Fray Andres de Olmos must have preceded Molina in his linguistic work, the 
present Arte appearing to have been finished on the 1st of January, 1547, the year 
after Molina’s first imprint, the 1546 Doctrina, finished on the press June 20. The 
great excellence of Olmos’ work has kept it in the front rank of all Mexican gram¬ 
mars; various efforts to print it at the time all failed, and it only appeared in print 
under the editorship of Remi Simeon in 1885; Beristain was in error in believing 
it had been printed in 1555. 

In the preface to his edition M. Simeon mentions four existing copies of Olmos* 
grammar; one of these gives the above date of its completion, and with another, 
less accurate and later copy served as the base for his work. From the data given

[No. 760. Manuscript, 1547— Continued ] 

by M. Simeon one might well infer that the earlier of the his two manuscripts, that in 
the Bibliotheque Nationale, was the original autograph, were it not for another 
statement in Eguiara and Beristain. The latter says that “in the library of the 
church at Toledo there exist the Arte y Vocabulario Mexicanos of Padre 01mo6," 
adding that Eguiara saw the original in the town of Tlanepantla. 

Now, although the present volume lacks the first leaf, it begins on leaf 2 near the 
end of the second paragraph of the printed edition, and follows that text almost 
literatim, being much closer to it than the second manuscript used by Simeon. 
The letters of the present manuscript are clearly of a formal middle XVIth century 
hand, and the orthography is in various instances earlier rather than later than the 
printed text. 

The text continues to the top of leaf 225, where we find: “y acaba aqui porque 
adelante esta son todos los verbos o casi todos los que ay en la lengua tambien si 
los quieren sacar son provechosos et vales,” after which the Vocabulario goes on 
to folio 288 recto, in the same formal hand, red and black, as all the rest of the 
work, and ends with “Finis.” 

We have here, therefore, clearly the "Arte y Vocabulario” mentioned by Eguiara 
and Beristain, the Second Part Being Unknown to Simeon, and missing in hie 
manuscripts. The margins, as well as all the blank space on the last leaf also contain 
numerous notes in Mexican, in an early running, but poor hand. As further negative 
evidence of date, there is no indication of any Molina influence in the manuscript. 

Manuscripts of any size or character in the native languages, from before 1550, 
may be counted on one hand; there is a document in Maya of 1542, a 95-leaf manu¬ 
script of Sermons in Mexican, begun by Sahagun in 1540, now in the Ayer collection. 
As shown by Simeon, it is certain that four copies of the grammar were made, 
apparently by different hands; unless Olmos himself first wrote the Paris manuscript 
and then re-copied that in full to add the Vocabulary in a single connected work, 
this present manuscript must be assigned to the year given, 1547, and all the 
others be regarded as later copies from this, of the grammar alone. 

In any event this manuscript must be included among the few surviving native 
language manuscripts of the earliest decade in which any are known, besides being, 
from its contents, Far the Most Important of Them All.

761. Manuscript, 1547. Olmos (Andres de). Arte Mexicana. Leaves 2 to 7 of a 

. contemporary copy of the same work as No. 760 above. 4to, about 1547. 

The manuscript begins toward the end of the Epistola Nuncupatoria, and goes 
nearly to the end of Chap. 4. It is in a regular, formal hand, more compact and 
erect than the complete volume above, and shows the same archaisms of chirography 
and spelling. It agrees almost literatim with the other texts, following the manu¬ 
script in the “Bibliotheque Nationale” more often than the “Maisonneuve,” where 
those differed. The citation in the prologue reads only, “pues que teste Mercurio,* 
omitting “Hermes Trismegisto.” 

For several reasons Simeon placed the Maisonneuve manuscript later than the 
BN, among them the mention of Hojicastro as “presente obispo de Tlaxcala,” and 
the added final sentence to the Prologue: “Pocos vocablos por que no sean mexica¬ 
nos, o tetzcucanos, y algunos de Tlaxcala.” The present manuscript omits the last 
four of these words, from which we might infer a date between the two Paris 
manuscripts.

Amecameca; November 11, 1690. Folio, 6 pages. 

767. Manuscript, 17TH Century. Early Aztec Prayers, in Native Handwriting. 

A Manuscript containing prayers such as used by the sacristan in a small 
pueblo. Early 17th century hand. i2mo, 27 leaves. 

These little manuscripts were subject to constant handling and use throughout 
the village, ana very few of such early date survived. The writing in this one may 
even be late 16th century as it shows the style and form of the better formal hands 
of that date, loosely written. From the paragraph marks, the capital A, tz, and 
combinations like yntla, it might well have been written by a parish priest in his 
old age, who as a young man had written as in our Olmos manuscripts; either this 
or by one of his assistants, trained by him from these early manuscripts. 

768. Manuscript, 17TH Century. Aztec Sermons. A Manuscript containing 

sermons; written in a 17th century hand, and partly covered by a piece of 
a printed Bull, with the name of a later owner, and the date 1744. i2mo,

Verified by the governor of the town with an elaborate rubric in place of a

774. Manuscript, 1755. Draft of a Sermon in Aztec, entirely filling the back of an 

Illustrated Jesuit broadside , printed at the College of San Ildefonso, Mexico, 
July 20, 1755. 

Just a few years before the expulsion of the Jesuits from the Spanish dominions. 
The study of these loose sheets issued for immediate church use is a part of the his¬ 
tory of the printing press in Mexico. Great numbers were, and still are being, 
issued in the most Catholic centers, like Puebla and Guadalajara, as well as in 
less numbers in more out of the way places. Necessarily fugitive, the probabilities 
as to every single piece of what few have survived are that Each Is Unique. 

For other copies of this class, see No. 1347. 

775. Manuscript, 1765. Treatise in Aztec on the Sacrament of Baptism. Com¬ 

plete, but once part of a larger volume, being paged 197-228. 4to, 32 pages. 

A Well-Written Manuscript. Said to be in the writing of Padre Morfi, of the 
convent of Tlatelulco, about 1765.

de su original el Maestro Manuel Joseph de Reyna, Ano de 1770. i2mo, 
38 leaves, half sheep. 

This is not, as stated on the title leaf, a “Vocabulary,” but a “Confesionario" 
and “Doctrina.” It is Exquisitely and Daintily Written in a Fine Hand, 
roman and italic letters, like a printed page, in black, red and green, with ornamented 
headpieces, initials and tailpieces. Phillipps, No. 21425.

777. Manuscript, 1778. Araoz (fray Franc. X.). Vocabulario Mexicano. 

A Beautifully Written Manuscript of 274 pages, Clean and Perfect 
Throughout. Three leaves, in a different hand, Para administrar, etc., in 
Aztec, bound in. Small 4to, half morocco. 

From the Fischer and Phillipps Libraries. The statement in the catalogue of 
the latter that the manuscript was written in 1598 is an error, the correct date 
being 1778. 

It was doubtless owing to the publication of the Molina ‘‘Aztec Dictionary," in 
1555 and 1571. but it is nevertheless remarkable that in all the succeeding centuries 
no other Aztec dictionary of any size was attempted, Save Only the Present 
Volume, and one of rather less value, in the “Bibliotheque Nationale.” This in 
contrast to the native languages of Yucatan and Guatemala, especially the Maya 
and the Quiche, there being four extensive Maya dictionaries survived (and others 
known to be lost), the Motul particularly having nearly a thousand pages. While 
in Quiche-Cakchiquel we have the Coto of a thousand folio pages, and perhaps a 
dozen others of 500 pages or over.

grammar, to the bottom of page 53. On page 55, to the top of 70, follows the Doctrina. 
After this three leaves of more modern paper have been inserted, a new writer begin¬

however, he bound in the blank folding leaf prepared by the first writer for the

The present manuscript was the Boturini VIII, 14; a copy was made by Gama, 
and both came into Aubin’s possession. Later the original disappeared; in 1851 
Aubin issued a copy, drawn and colored by hand at the deaf-mute asylum in Paris, 
whether before or after the loss of the original is not clear. Later E. G. Squier entered 
an agreement with Aubin to reprint this, and others of Aubin’s manuscripts, at 
which time we are told that the 1851 copies had become so scarce that Aubin himself 
did not have a complete one. 

The present photographs are from the original manuscript, Boturini VIII, 14; 
and the only time it was actually photographed, so far as can be learned.

Ano de 1605 

Of the Very Highest Rarity, and the Only Perfect Copy Known, while it is 
believed that there are only two imperfect copies located by bibliographers* Sabin 
(No. 47339) describes an imperfect copy which evidently lacked the title-page, as he 
gives the bracketed imprint of “Mexico, 1604?” 

Collation, —*, A to K in eights, L in four, total, 84 leaves, consisting of: *1 recto. 
Title, with device of a pierced heart; *1 verso, Dedication, with woodcut device within 
type-ornament border below; *2 recto. Portrait of S. Nicolas de Tolentino; *2 verso to 
*3 recto. License for printing, signed for Viceroy Mendoza by Martin Lopez 
de Gauna; *3 verso to *5 verso, Aprobaciones of fray Garcia, de la Cruz, de Loya, 
de Feria, and Joan Baptista; *6, Woodcuts of ecclesiastical insignia on recto, and 
coat-of-arms on verso; *7 recto to *8 recto. Dedication to Don Pedro de Vega y 
Sarmiento, with woodcut device at end; *8 verso, blank; Folios 1 to 81 recto. Text; 81 
verso to ( 83 recto), Table, with colophon at end; ( 83 verso) Portrait of Sanct Augustin; 
84 recto. Portrait of Sancta Monica, verso. Woodcut device. Title reinforced at inner 
margin, a few leaves slightly wormed, last leaf reinforced at outer margin, old signa¬ 
tures on a few margins, edges of leaves water-stained. 

In his "Apuntes” (1866) Icazbalceta mentions knowing of but two copies, his own, 
and that of Ramirez. In his “Addiciones” (Mexico, 1898) he mentions having seen 
one perfect copy, belonging to Chavero. 

The entire Icazbalceta collection disappeared in the recent revolution in Mexico; 
the Ramirez copy was sold in London, in 1880, and later came into my hands through 
the Hurst sale in 1904. A very large part of Chavero’s most important books came 
into my hands also, and from a careful study of both copies and their transmission 
history, I feel sure that this is the copy, and the only complete one existing; and 
unless the Icazbalceta copy has somewhere survived, one of only two.—W. G.

The Volume Is Complete, and all but the last few leaves in clean and perfect 
condition. Of these last leaves only some of the edges are a little ragged, but without 
loss except on the inside margin of the last leaf, and there not affecting the text. 
On the inside of the back cover is an inscription in the Zapotec language, dated “i de 
Mayo a nos 1698.” 

Volumes of This Character and Especially in Such Fine Condition Are 
Almost Unknown, and Writing of Any Kind in Zapotec of an Early Period 
Has Survived in Hardly Half a Dozen Pieces. 

[See Reproduction of First Page] 

905. Manuscript. Zapotec Grammar. Arte de la Lengua Zaapoteca. Well writ¬ 
ten in XVIII century hand. At p. 139, Cuenta en Zaapoteca; pages 143 
to 202 a “Doctrina”; page 203 to end, “Algunas Pl&ticas y Conversaciones 
en la Lengua Zaapoteca del Valle.” 8vo, 257 pages. In original limp vel¬ 
lum, complete and perfect. 

Of all the chief native languages of Mexico, manuscripts in Zapotec are probably 
the fewest in number. Icazbalceta only knew of a short Vocabulary of 1696, in 
99 pages, and a Grammar with the date 1800, “sacado de su original de Ocotlan.* 
A comparison of his description and the present manuscript shows that the 1800 
manuscript was in all probability taken in part from the present manuscript. Both 
of these manuscripts mentioned by Icazbalceta are now in the Ayer collection in the 
Newberry Library at Chicago, and except for the Zapotec manuscripts described 
in the present catalog. No Others Are Known to Exist Anywhere Out of 
Fast Hands.

In the dialect of Zaachila, the ancient Zapotec capital. There should have been 
an edition of 1732, as the Licencias are dated in that year, but the issue is otherwise

The Vocabulary 83 pages, the rest a Doctrina. The volume has come through 
the Maximilian, Fischer, Phillipps collections, No Other Miztec Manuscript 
Having Appeared in Any Other Collection or Sale. Beristain and Pimentel

916. Manuscript. Doctrina en Lengua Mizteca. 4to, 14 pages. Photographic 

copy. 

Four leaves Miztec, Commandments and Sacraments; 3 leaves Miztec-Spaniah,

Mexico, Imprenta particular, 190 5 

Belmar is the one student and investigator in modern times who has seriously 
devoted himself to the languages of the State of Oaxaca, seat of the great pre- 
Conquest Zapotec civilization, culturally closest to the Maya of all others. But for 
his work, a very great deal would have been wholly lost to science. 

921. Belmar (Francisco). Importancia del Estudo de las Lenguas Indigenas. 

Small 4to, pp. 64, original wrapper, uncut. Mexico, 1909 

A Refutation on the above subject.

38 pages. 

A Maximilian, Fischer, Phillipps Manuscript. Only Six Totonac Manuscripts 
Are Recorded, this and the next number, with four others now in the "Hispanic 
Society." Of the six, one is an incomplete Sermones of the 16th century, and the 
other five are all of the same character, and about the same date, as the two here. 
The printed material is almost as scanty, being two small imprints, both exceedingly 
scarce. 

925. Manuscript. Bocabulario de la Ydioma Totonaca, conforme el usso de la 

Cierra Alta. 4to, 92 pages. 

Manuscript of 18th century. See above. 

OAXACA 

MINOR LANGUAGES OF THE STATE OF OAXACA 

At the horizon of our’ knowledge, Oaxaca was occupied by a great civilization whose 
remains are left on Monte Alban, above the city of Oaxaca; here are carved a few hieroglyphs 
closely allied to those of the Mayas. The two cultures perhaps were related about as were 
Greece and Rome. 

Before the Aztecs came down from the north, there was a great Zapotec-Miztec kingdom 
and culture, which probably succeeded the earlier period about as the later Yucatan and 
Guatemala kyigdoms of 1000 to 1500 A.D. succeeded the earlier “Old Empire." Calendar 
and other remains were similar to the Maya-Quiche. But their hieroglyphic codices, such 
as have come down, are of the general Aztec type. 

Scattered over the remote mountain districts of the whole State lies a complex of lan¬ 
guages whose remains are scanty in the extreme, their study to date of the lightest, and their 
relationships still all uncertain. Like the equally difficult and scanty dialects of Chiapas 
and Central America, they probably go back to beyond the great Maya period. The Chia- 
panec and others seem to show South American affinities, just as those above the Valley of 
Mexico show northern. Where these Oaxacan language isolations belong, and what their 
old culture and period, are still questions to be solved. And unless distant future excavations 
help, our only working base is that of Comparative Linguistics, founded on the scanty material 
we have, and nearly the whole of which is represented in the following numbers. 

926. Manuscript. Oaxaca Dialect(?) Manuscript of three leaves 4to, with a 

vocabulary in parallel columns, and running. Early 19th century. 

Hombre, rahaye; muger, nattehuive; dia, quigue; hoy, viti; manana, llutian. 

927. Manuscript. Oaxaca Dialect(?) Cathessismo Nathonate anixi an dotrina 

epucha mahanimaha cobipucha, etc. 1 leaf 4to, questions and answers, all 
in dialect; 18th century hand.

CHINANTEC 

The only surviving mss. and imprint. 

929. Manuscript in Chinanteco. Manuscript containing phrases in Chinantec 
and Spanish, in parallel columns. Early 19th century. 4to, 14 leaves. 

“This and the two following items appear mainly in the hand of Lie. Francisco 
Zavaleta, parish cura at Jalapa. They are identified in several places as Chinanteco, 
and I believe they all are in that language, but have been unable to verify every 
sheet as such. To do this would require a long intensive study in this field, which 
has so far been done by no one, and I cannot take up. I tried to work them out with 
the aid of Belmar’s works, but even those gave very little help."—W. G. 

The Only Chinantec Manuscripts Known Are Those in the Gates Collec¬ 
tion. 


930. Manuscript. Quintero (P. Francisco). Confesionario, with some addi¬ 
tional memoranda, in Chinantec, with Spanish parallel. With the date 
1838. 13 leaves. 


931. Manuscript in Chinanteco. Breve Confesionario en Idioma Castellano 
vertido al Chinanteco para el uso de Francisco Maria de Zavaleta. 11 
leaves. 

Mostly in the same writing as the preceding, but one leaf is quite different, and 
apparently in the hand of a native Indian. 


932. Manuscript in Chinanteco. Vocabulario; partly in the same writing as 
preceding, but with some leaves in different hand, and somewhat earlier. 
14 leaves. 


933. Manuscript. Boucara (A.). Diccionario y Dialogos, Castellano v Chinan¬ 
teco; 2 Avril, i860, La Lana. 4to manuscript of 43 pages. Photographic 
copy. 

14 pages of phrases, and the rest a Vocabulary; all have the Chinantec words 
with both their Spanish and French equivalents. 

There is hardly one of our languages in more doubtful state than this. Pimentel 
speaks of the lack “of all specimens to study,” and even Belmar gives very scanty 
data. Dr. Berendt left a small manuscript with a short comparative word-list on 
two pages. 


934. Barreda (Nicholas de la). Doctrina Christiana en lengua Chinanteca. 
4to, hi pages. Mexico, Rodriguez Lupercio, 1730. Photographic copy. 

As the above are the only recorded manuscripts, past or present, so This Is the 
Only Imprint. Belmar does not mention it, and Not More Than Two Copies 
Are Known to Exist. Except for his analysis of a few words and forms in Belmar’s 
“Lenguas Indigenas,” our whole Chinantec material is comprised in these five manu¬ 
scripts. and the remaining copies of this imprint. 





Third Session 


CUICATEC 

The only known surviving manuscript. 

935. Manuscript. Confesionario en Lengua Cuicateca para los prinsipiantes e 

ignorantes como Ojeda. About 1780. 4to, 6 leaves. Photographic copy. 

The Only Manuscript in This Language of Which There Is Any Record 
Whatever; closely written in double column, Cuicatec and Spanish. Our knowledge 
of this dialect rests wholly on a modern study by Belmar, and the present early 
quaderno. Belmar knew of no early material, and gives no samples of text. 

MAZATEC 

The entire surviving manuscript literature. 

936. Manuscript. Early 19th century writing, with Spanish and Mazatec words 

in parallel columns. 2 leaves. 

The Present and Following Numbers Constitute the Entire Manuscript 
Literature of This Language. The printed material, for its part, consists of a 
Paternoster, and a “Ligero Estudio” by Belmar, who says: “I have found nothing 
written in the language. The absolute lack of works relating to it has inspired me 
to essay this slight study of a language deserving especial attention for its ethno¬ 
graphic importance. The scanty material I have forces me to make my work small." 

937. Manuscript. El texto de la Doctrina Christiana; en Lengua Mazateca. 4to, 

pages 48. Photographic copy. 

Manuscript of later 18th century; pages 31-48 contain a vocabulary. 

938. Manuscript. Quaderno del Ydioma Mazateco de las cosas y terminos mas 

comunes y usuales, para instruccion de los principiantes, ano de 1827.

pages folio. 

Well written and in perfect condition. A Doctrina etc. with the Spanish version

960. Manuscript. Cr6nica de Nakuk Pech. Folio, 27 pages. Photographic copy. 

Of This Highly Important Historical Work, Written by a Maya Prince 
at the Very Time of the Conquest, We Have Only the Copy Made by Pio 
Perez, from Which the Above Was Taken. The present Pio Perez copy, in turn, 
became the property of Senor Rafael de Regil, who was driven into exile by the 
Alvarado invasion in 1915, and his house “sealed up”—not too closely however, 
to prevent the abstraction of both this manuscript and the manuscript of the San 
Francisco Dictionary—the present whereabouts of both being unknown. 

The whole history of the Pio Perez collection, to which we owe so much, is the 
usual story. Left by him to Bishop Crescencio Carrillo, the collection next appears, 
intact, as the “property” of Carrillo’s executor, Sr. Figueroa. On Alvarado’s entry, 
the collection was seized from Figueroa’s widow (with a written receipt promising 
payment, which was never made), and placed in the Cepeda Public Library in 
Merida. 

At the same time the entire contents of the Museum, including many invaluable 
antiquities, were removed bodily and dumped (literally) into a school building, to 
give the Museum building as a cuartel to his soldiers—Mexican invaders, not 
Yucatecans. A short time later the objects were again moved to give their new 
location to the local I. W. W. as headquarters; until these in turn had to yield it as 

offices for the Government Hemp Monopoly, the Reguladora. The antiquities-! 

Meanwhile the most important of the Pio Perez manuscripts, in their turn, also 
disappeared from the Cepeda; particularly the Chumayel (fortunately previously 
photographed and later published in facsimile by the University of Pennsylvania), 
the Calkini, etc. It is however believed that the Chumayel at least is not destroyed, 
general opinion in Merida allocating it to a certain previous “cientifico” who came 
over to the Alvarado-Reguladora side. 

961* Manuscript. Pasi6n de Jesucristo, en Lengua Maya. Written about 1800. 
4to, 46 pages. Photographic copy. 

962. Manuscript. Sermones en Lengua Maya. Folio, 144 pages. Photographic 

copy. 

The calligraphic texts which we find so numerous in both Mexico and Guatemala, 
are almost non-existent in Yucatan. All the writing is of a coarser, more uneducated 
style, which changed very little with time; so that it is not easy to place undated 
manuscripts. The present probably dates however from about 175 ° or a little later. 

963. Manuscript. Para ayudar a buen morir en lengua yucateca, traducida del 

Ramillete de Divinas Flores, y fue compuesto por Dn. Bernardo Sierra,

Writing of about 1800; a collection of prayers, etc. Found in the town of Muna 
a few leagues from Uxmal.

979A. Cruz (Santiago Pacheco). Traducci6n Literal al Idioma Yucateco del 
Decreto Expedido a favor de los Jornaleros de Campo, etc. In Maya and 
Spanish, 8vo, pp. 15, original wrapper. Merida, 1914 

This brochure has a Unique Political Importance. In 1914 the Governor of 
Yucatan was, as required by the Constitution, a native of the State, and under the 
influence of the new Liberal ideas had issued this decree abolishing wage-slavery, or 
peonage. Alvarado, and the Syndicalist I. W. W. party with Carranza, were however 
interested in far more radical things, in the complete overthrow of capitalism, and 
establishment of what has since been called Sovietism —as exists in full operation 
in Yucatan today. Invading the State, without pretext or cause, and having Gov. 
Avila called to Vera Cruz for “consultation” with Carranza, Alvarado repudiated 
all of Avila’s acts (including his issue of paper money, of course). And then reissued 
the present decree, very slightly modified, as his own; following it with State and 
worldwide propaganda of his liberation of the Indians. This decree by Avila was 
promulgated in September, 1914. 

See No. 1565 in this catalog for the series of posters by Alvarado during his inva¬ 
sion and conquest of the State, March, 1915.

990. Manuscript. Vico (fray Domingo de). Arte de Lengua Giche o Utlateca. 

4to, 69 pages. Photographic copy. 

As Vico was killed in 1555 in Vera Paz, this must have been written by 1550 or 
earlier. 

991. Manuscript. Anleo (fray Bartolom£). Arte de Lengua Giche. 4to, 

136 pages. Photographic copy. 

A copy made by fr. Ramirez de Utrilla in 1744, from Anleo's original, which was 
then in possession of fray Antonio Betancur. Squier had a copy made from the 
present manuscript, and it was advertised as in press, to follow his Palacios, but it 
seems not to have appeared. 

992. Manuscript. Arte de Lengua Giche. 4to, 40 pages. Photographic copy. 

In a very early hand; the Ramirez-Anleo above seems perhaps a revision (as 
frequently done) of this manuscript, which it follows in many points. This may 
either have served as model to Anleo, or be Anleo’s autograph, and this latter then 
extended and changed by Ramirez. The present manuscript was in possession of a 
fray Ignacio Macal in 1733 . lately arrived in Guatemala from China, who gives us 
several "very efficacious remedies” he had learned. 

993. Manuscript. MartInez (fray Marcos). Arte de la Lengua Utlateca o

994. Manuscript. Spina (P, Vicente HernAndez). Apunte del Idioma Kiche, 

ano de 1854. Folio, 36 pages. 

Although modern, is well written and useful. Padre Spina was Cura at Ixtlavacan, 
one of the most Indian of all Guatemalan towns, and took great interest in native 
matters.

with those of San Christobal.

Basseta (fray Domingo). Vocabulario Quiche-Castellano. 4to, 160 pages. 
Photographic copy. 

A manuscript of the highest interest and value, being the volume constantly 
used by Brasseur in his translations of the Popol Vuh, Rabinal Achi, etc.; it is 
crowded to the margins with additions, minutely written, in Brasseur’s hand.

Impreso en Guatemala, en la Imprenta de Velasco, en 1752, y reimpreso 

en la Imprenta de Arevalo, 1754 

Brasseur speaks of the 1752 edition, but by a somewhat different title. Medina 
inserts the title, taken from Squier’s Monograph, citing Brasseur, and adding 
“autoridad que no nos inspira confianza.” We have not been able to locate any 
copy of the 1752 edition, although the present title proves it to have been printed* 

The special Quiche type used herein are found in four imprints only: these two 
of 1752 and I7'54, the Flores Cakchiquel grammar printed by Arevalo in 1753, 
and a 20 page Doctrina, in Cakchiquel, closely following this in Quiche, but without

Of the present 1754 imprint but two copies are known, both in fast hands, while

de 1565. 4to, 5 pages. Photographic copy. 

1021. Manuscript. Arte de la Lengua Cacchi de Coban en la Verapaz. 4to, 152 

pages. Photographic copy. 

Given to Brasseur from the episcopal archives of Coban, where it was tradi¬ 
tionally assigned to the hand of fray Tomas de Cardenas, bishop there in 1565. 
The writing is certainly of that period. 

Our material for Kekchl is quite scanty, compared with all other main Guate¬ 
malan languages except the Mam (in which we have almost nothing at all). We 
have no known Kekchl dictionary at all, and a Grammar of This Date, before 
any deterioration of the language had set in. Is of Highest Importance.

The only instance we have of hymns in a native Mayance language. Of the

visit, in 1549.

en Lengua Kekchl y Castellana. Folio, 80 pages. Photographic copy. 

An exquisitely written manuscript of the 18th century, Spanish and Kekchl in 
parallel columns. 

1027. Saravia (Ramon G.). Vocabulario-Gramatical del Espanol yQuechl, pro- 

puesto para uso de los Indlgenas que asisten a las escuelas publicas de la 
Alta Vera Paz. i2mo, pp. 58, (2), original wrapper. CobAn, 1895 

Only Two Imprints in the IvekckI Language are Known; one is a small 
vocabulary printed in Cob&n in 1890, of which I have heard of but one copy; 
and the present brochure, of Which I Know But One Other Copy Besides 
the Present. 

This was actually printed in Barcelona, but on the back of the Index (unnum¬ 
bered page 60) is a list of Erratas Importantes, evidently printed in Cobin, after 
the work arrived from Spain.

POKONCHl 

1028. Manuscript. Pl&tica de los Principales Misterios de la Religidn, en Lengua 

Pokonchf. 8vo, 36 pages. Photographic copy. 

. One of Brasseur’s manuscripts. 

1029. Manuscript. Sermon de Nra. Sra. del Rosario. 8vo, 77 pages. Photo¬ 

graphic copy. 

Bears the date 1818. ’ 

1030. Manuscript. Aguilar (P. Francisco). Sermon a los Indios, en Pokonchf. 

8vo, 32 pages. Photographic copy. 

With the Spanish parallel. 

1031. Manuscript. Aguilar (P. Francisco). PlAtica en Lengua Pokonchf, 1822. 

8vo, 40 pages. Photographic copy. 

1033. Manuscript. Doctrina Christiana, en Lengua Pokonchf, 4to, 43 pages. 
Photographic copy. 

Written in 1810, by one Basilio Co, of Tactic. 

*034. Manuscript. Confesionario en Castellano y Poconchf. 4to, 42 pages. 
Photographic copy. 

Also from Tactic, and written in 1814. 

1035. Manuscript. Zuniga (fray Dionysio de). Quaderno para enseffar la 

musica y el arte de cantar. 8vo, 1595-1604. Photographic copy. 

With the exception of a volume of sermons, written by padre Viana about 1550, 
and the worn out parts replaced in 1603 by the present padre Zuniga, this little 
manuscript is the oldest Pokonchf we have. 

A great curiosity, it is the only effort known to put the musical sol-fa into a native 
tongue, which it here does in much detail, and with eight staves of written music— 
from primero tono perfecto maestro, to octavo tono comix to discipulo. With 
Zuniga’s signature in several places. 

pokomAn 

1036. Manuscript. MorAn (fray Pedro). Arte Breve y Compendiosa de la 

Lengua Pokonchf, compuesto por fr. Dionysio de Zuniga, y traducido 
en la Lengua Pocomdn de Amatitlan. Folio, 18 pages. Photographic copy 

These three dialects form a group, of which the Kekchi live to the north, the* 
the Pokonchf, and the Pokomans well to the south, beyond Guatemala city tr» 
Lake Amatitlan the beautiful. The last two differ only slightly. 

We have no record of any Kekchf dictionary written; grammars, document*, 
and texts—none long. In Pokonchf there are several thick volumes of early ser¬ 
mons, and Zufiiga wrote a dictionary of which 145 leaves are in the Brinton col¬ 
lection; the whole must have been 900 pages closely written folio. 

For Pokoman we seem to have almost no primary material, but about 1720 
padre Moran took the Zuniga works, and recast them in a number of volumes, for 
the Pokoman dialect. See next number. 

1037. Manuscript. MorAn (fray Pedro). Bocabulario de solo los nombres de 

la Lengua PokomAn. Folio, 244 pages. Photographic copy. 

The treatment of these works is delightful. The words are all treated as honorable 
or prominent citizens of a commonwealth; of one we will be told, “this gentleman 
lives up north, and does not drink our waters of Amatitlan,” etc. The writing is 
all very clear and regular, and the works filled with illustrations and careful anal¬ 
yses. There was no better work done on any of these languages than that we here

CHOLTf 

The only work on the language, either manuscript or printed. 

1038. [Moran (fray Francisco).] Arte, Doctrina y Vocabulario en Lengua 
Cholti, o de los Milperos. Copy made from a manuscript written between 
1685 and 1695. Well and clearly written , ornamental captions to the sections , 
initials in red. 8vo, pp. 108, half brown morocco. 

The Cholti language, now spoken by the merest handful, extends from Coban 
and Quirigua in the east to Palenque and Ocosingo in the west, and thus represents 
the remnant in situ of the Old Empire population. With the closely related Tzental 
and Tzotzil, it is the actual bridge not only between the old and new periods, but 
between the northern or Yucatecan, and the southern or Guatemalan branches; 
Making It Historically and Linguistically of the Highest Importance. 

Francisco Moran was a Dominican who went with government forces to try 
to open a road from Vera Paz to Laguna de Terminos on the Mexican Gulf, and 
presented a report to the King in 1637, giving the population of the Manche and 
Lacandon regions as 100,000. Cardenas gives 500,000 for the whole territory. 
5000 is probably a high estimate of the present remainder. 

Moran wrote a vocabulary, etc., which was of considerable size, but it has dis¬ 
appeared. The whole effort failed, to be picked up anew 50 years later, at which 
time Moran’s manuscript had been re-copied, with additions, and notes of dialectic 
differences between the eastern and western parts. The present is a copy of this 
later work, written between 1685 and 1695, at different places. We have various 
short modern word-lists from both the Honduran and Chiapan borders, but the 
present work is the only one to give us a grammar and texts, and we are wholly 
dependent on it for a knowledge of Cholti, the most direct territorial descendant 
of the ancient tongue, as a real language. 

The “Arte” occupies 24 pages, the “Doctrina” 16, and the “Vocabulario” 68. 


TZENTAL 

1039. Ara (fray Domingo de). Bocabulario en Lengua Tzeldal. 4to, 328 pages* 

Photographic copy. 

Written in 1571. We have Ara’s dictionary and two texts from his pen; another 
early text by Temporal; a recast of Ara’s dictionary by Guzman in 1620; some 
sermons in 1675; and then almost absolutely nothing until the Pineda grammar 
and vocabulary printed in 1888. 

The territory of Tzental and Tzotzil is that of Palenque and Ocosingo, probably 
the first great seats of the Old Maya Empire. 

1040. Pineda (Lie. Vicente). Historia de las Sublevaciones Indigenas en el 

Estado de Chiapas. Gram 4 tica de la Lengua Tzel-tal, y Diccionario de 
la Misma. 8vo, boards, leather back. Chiapas, 1888 

Pages 1-132 contain the Historia, taken largely from the manuscript which 
served Brinton as the basis for his Maria Candelaria, but also covering all Indian 
uprisings down to that of 1869-70. The author wrote the present work, to empha¬ 
size the necessity of the “white” population learning the language, to come into 
closer contact with the natives, lest the latter in time revolt successfully. At the 
end of the first part are notices on the native calendar, month and day-names, 
etc.; then a second title for the Gramatica, but with pagination continued to 340; 
7 leaves Index, Errata, etc.; the Dictionary, no title but new pagination, 1-143, 
2 leaves errata. A Very Important and Scarce Work. 


TZOTZIL 

1041. Manuscript. Doctrina Abreviada en Lengua Tzotzlem. 4to, 21 pages* 
Photographic copy. 

Dated by Brasseur as of about 1800. 








Fourth Session 


1042. Manuscript. Frases en Lengua Tzotzil. 4to, 6 pages. Photographic copy. 

Written about 1830. 

1043. Manuscript. Barrera (fray Josef de la). Libro en Lengua Tzotzil. 4to, 

285 pages. Photographic copy. 

Written in 1782; grammar, text and vocabulary. Besides these three pieces we 
have one large folio early dictionary, three small manuscripts of about 1730, a 
very interesting Tzotzil translation of the Appeal by the Cadiz Junta in 1810 for 
funds to fight Napoleon, a few mere scraps, and finally the little Sanchez imprint 
of 1895. This Volume by Barrera Is the Only Real Effort at a Grammar 
We Have, so that any real work on the language must rest on this and the folio 
dictionary. 

1044. Broadside. Aguaiic Iscotol Lumalic te Indioetic. 2 pages folio. Photo¬ 

graphic copy. 

A Broadside printed at San Cristobal in 1869, addressed to the Indians of Cha- 
mula in revolt. Two columns, Spanish and Tzotzil. This revolt at the time in 
Chiapas was the last of a long series ever since the Conquest, to get free of the 
economic oppression of the old Spanish element, and was a very serious one. Like 
the Maya revolt in Yucatan in 1847, they nearly succeeded in taking the State and 
expelling the whites. The event was the cause of Pineda’s writing his work— 
history of the uprising, and a grammar and vocabulary, to bring about closer 
contact between the whites and Indians. The story is told in Brinton’s "Maria 
Candelaria.” 

1045. [Hidalgo (Manuel).] Vocabulaire de la Langue Tzotzil. With a prefatory 

note by Cte. de Charencey. 8vo, pp.41, original wrapper. Caen, 1885 

1046. Sanchez (Jose M.). La Lengua Tzotzil en Chiapas. Small 4to, title and 95 

pages, original wrapper. San Cristdbal Las Casas, Chiapas, 1895 

Grammar, vocabulary and doctrina. 


MAM 

1047. Manuscript. Fuentes (Manuel). Preguntas para Administrar el S. S. 

de Matrimonio, y otras partes de la doctrina. 4to, 8 pages. Photographic 
copy. 

The Mams are the least known of all the chief branches of the race; they cover 
all the west and southwest of Guatemala, but almost nothing whatever has been 
written in or on their language or customs. 

A very bad grammar and vocabulary of the tongue was printed by Reynoso in 
1644 (two copies known); we have another very small manuscript by this Fuentes, 
the next item—and then not another thing. 

1048. Manuscript. Elgueta (Manuel). Vocabulario Mam i Espanol. Folio, 

17 pages. Photographic copy. 

Written about 25 years ago, by an enthusiast of Totonicapan. 

1049. Reynoso (fray Diego de). Arte, Vocabulario, Confesionario, etc. En 

Lengua Marne o Zaklohpakap. Mexico, 1644. [Reprinted by Cte. de 
Charencey.] 8vo. No place, no date 

But two or three copies of the original edition are known. The Arte and Vocabu¬ 
lario are alone known, and in spite of the call for the Doctrina on the subtitle, 
Icazbalceta regards the work as complete as it is (see Apuntes, No. 146). The 
Mame is the least known of all the Mayance languages. The only printed work 
is this of Reynoso, and the totality of manuscripts known, early or late, does not 
run over 30 pages. See preceding numbers.

the Conquest. One very early grammar was printed, of which a single copy may 
be in existence. For the language we are wholly dependent on Tapia Zenteno -and
